Introduction: How to Increase the Life of Earpiece

About: I am a student of BS Software Engineering. I have interest in microcontroller programming. I love to make electronic projects, especially CNC.

I have noticed over time, that my earpiece stop working due to breakage of cable. And after some observation, I learned that this was happening due to sharp kinks in the cables, which deteriorate the internal cables. So I decided to avoid these sharps kinks in the cables by using springs.

Step 1: What You Will Need!

You will need 3 or 4 Pens which have springs inside. And of course Earpiece too.

Step 2: Take Out Springs From the Ballpoint.

Take out springs from the ballpoint.

Step 3: Rip Around the Places Where Sharp Kinks May Occur

Rip the spring around the cables, as shown in the pictures, at places where sharps kinks may occur in the cable. These places are usually with the jack and with the earpiece, where the cable is connecting with some hard areas of the earpiece.

Step 4: You Are Done.

You can now check that sharp kinks cannot occur at these places. This hack will not compromise the look of your earpiece and will increase its life. Enjoy
